Effect of the Preload on the Acceptability for Verification in the EU*
Only internal adjustment (calibration) is allowed for weighing instruments
verified as legal measuring instruments (refer to the operating instructions for
the particular 15) industrial terminal you are using). Therefore, if you use your
weighing platform in a configuration for which you cannot use the ISO test on
account of the relatively high preload, the platform is not acceptable for
verification.
To have your weighing platform verified, you must change the preload setting
before verification only.
The legal basis permitting Sartorius to perform initial verification is constituted
by the following: 1 ) EC Council Directive no. 2009/23/EC on non-automatic
weighing instruments, which has been applicable within the harmonized
Infernal Market of the European Union since 1 January 1993; and 2) the
certificate issued by the Metrology Department "Eichwesen" of the
Landesverwaltungsamt of Lower Saxony in Germany
(now MEN, Mess- und Eichwesen Niedersachsen).

Following verification, the representative authorized to perform this
procedure will affix the respective ID labels and metrology sticker.
